- - **Nutter Butter Cookies** – These cookies make both the crust and the delicious filling of the pie.
- - **Butter** – Salted butter is recommended to balance the sweetness.
- - **Cream Cheese** – Adds a tangy and creamy base to the filling.
- - **Marshmallow Fluff or Creme** – For sweetness and a light fluffy texture.
- - **Creamy Peanut Butter** – The star ingredient for that bold peanut butter flavor.
- - **Cool Whip** – Whipped topping that makes the pie light and airy both in the filling and as a topping.
Prepare the Crust:
- Start by crushing 24 Nutter Butter cookies to make the crust. You can use a food processor to ensure fine, even crumbs.
- In a bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with 6 tablespoons of melted salted butter. Stir until the crumbs are well-coated and slightly sticky.
- Press the cookie crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form an even crust.
- Bake the crust at 350°F for 11 to 12 minutes. Baking the crust helps it hold together and enhances the flavor. Once baked, set it aside to cool completely.
Make the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of marshmallow fluff, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter together until smooth and well combined. The mixture should be fluffy and light.
- Gently fold in half of the Cool Whip (about 4 ounces) to lighten the filling further. Be careful not to overmix, as you want the filling to remain light and airy.
- Crush 12 additional Nutter Butter cookies and fold them into the filling mixture, distributing the cookie chunks evenly throughout the filling.
Assemble the Pie:
- Transfer the creamy peanut butter filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top of the filling to create a smooth, fluffy layer. For a decorative touch, you can also swirl the Cool Whip or create peaks.
- Optional: Garnish the top with extra crushed Nutter Butter cookies or whole cookies for added crunch and a pop of visual appeal.
Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set. The longer it chills, the firmer it will be, making it easier to slice.
- Once chilled, slice and serve. This pie is best enjoyed cold, straight from the fridge.
